    Love the Kidston videos. I have only just discovered them. Brilliant Production and usually delivered with humour.
  • @matricious
    Glad to see more and more videos covering these classic cars. You won't see them on roads but at least you can get a bit of that experience from the film.

    Those old Duesenberg's are just chef's kiss
  • @Majoralert
    These old classic cars hold tremendous amount of sentimental value and a bit of history. raw analog authentic and memorable driving experience with little to no high tech or nanny features. of course to some they drive like every other old cars but better.if you want the driving cars of course you should buy the best modern cars full of technology and power. But if money is no object to you, by all means shed $150 million to experience a piece of automobile history.

    Poor cars,destined to be inside "investment briefcase" in dark warehouse. Few cars might see sunlight when new owner has to transport them to new home, on a trailer.

    It’s sad that most of these classic cars end up in “investment” collections never to be really be driven. Their souls can’t shine if they aren’t on the roads. I do love what Kidston does with his videos creating a sense of character and emotion showcasing their true identity to hopefully touch on the souls of true car enthusiasts that will someday drive them rather than simply display them like a painting on a wall.
  • Kidston’s videos are amazing…because the love he has for these cars really shines through. He also has been personally collecting the amazing cars that his father once owned. He’s a master story teller and engages people through these stories, even more than the cars. I enjoyed the video, but had to laugh when the narrator, towards the end, stated that he sold cars to such a “diverse” set of buyers - middle aged, to older, mostly white men (all rich) are hardly a diverse group (and I say that as a late middle aged - not rich - man). Love the cars and follow Kidston on his social media channels and YouTube - he’s great.

    That's a great business being a Go To guy in buying & selling cars. Since it's full of mega rich people who can't be "bothered" by the intricacies of the sale. A great Opportunity, a great job, rubbing elbows with extremely rich people & best of all getting the chance to drive some of there exquisite motor vehicles! Good on you!

    what a load of marketing nonsense. until the late 1970s old racing cars were just second hand cars and they were bought by enthusiasts for resonable money and rightly so including all the Ferrari ex racing cars. Looking at cars as investments in recent years has just made them throw away toys for the rich, and put them out of the reach of many genuine enthusiasts.
